If youโ€™re one of the several hundred learners in the Linux for Beginners class run by this channel, your invitations for tomorrowโ€™s Weekend Linux Workshop are being sent out to your e-mail now!

This week: Desktop Linux continues to gain popularity, per the latest use statistics! Why? Why did we put in the time to help so many people move their computers to Linux in the first place? Itโ€™s simple โ€ฆ Microsoft Windows is getting more invasive all the time, and people are tired of it. Why would you tolerate running Operating System software (Windows) that gives Microsoft visibility in to all of your files, everything you type, every website you browse, and everything else youโ€™re doing on your computer? With the new mandatory Artificial Intelligence watching you in Windows, thereโ€™s more reason than ever before to switch your computers to Linux!

Learning about the parallel technology world of Free and Open Source Software is a decision to take back control of your personal information, data and ultimately your Digital Freedom. We welcome you to the Linux for Beginners class and a new chapter of your digital life. You will like it! While everyone else is being abused by "big tech" with no end in sight, it's time for you to get used to winning in your technology world!

See you online tomorrow @ 5:00pm Eastern!

In April 2024, there will be a 10-day stretch of palindrome dates. A palindrome date is a date that can be read the same way forward and backward. This unique occurrence will begin on Saturday, April 20 and continue through Monday, April 29:

April 20, 2024 (4-20-24)
April 21, 2024 (4-21-24)
April 22, 2024 (4-22-24)
April 23, 2024 (4-23-24)
April 24, 2024 (4-24-24)
April 25, 2024 (4-25-24)
April 26, 2024 (4-26-24)
April 27, 2024 (4-27-24)
April 28, 2024 (4-28-24)
April 29, 2024 (4-29-24)

then, five more similar sequences through 2029.

After 2029, the next time a palindrome date like this will occur is in a millennium, on April 20, 3024.

End of an era: One of the most used, arguably best designed microprocessors in history, the Zilog Z80, reached its end of production last week.

It was first released in 1976, when the Z80 was a cutting edge processor for the best computers. As a kid I grew up programming Z80โ€™s on Kaypro (Assembly, Pascal) and Cromemco computers in the early 1980โ€™s. Thereโ€™s a whole generation of us who did!

In more recent years, the Z-80 was still manufactured, sold for about $5 apiece. It was known as one of the most full-featured microprocessors to ever power embedded systems in clock radios, microwave ovens, vending machines, etc.

Long live the Z80!

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we thank You for the precious gift of Your Word, which nourishes our souls. Your truth shines brilliantly, guiding our path and filling us with divine wisdom and peace.

Thank You for Your presence in our most challenging moments, offering solace, strength, and understanding when we are in need.

On this day, we humbly ask that Your justice and mercy be extended to those who have been wrongfully treated or falsely accused by the corrupt legal systems of this broken world.

As we set out on a new week, we pray for Your strength and guidance to lift us up and empower us. May Your Holy Spirit be our constant companion, enabling us to walk in Your ways and live according to Your will. Grant us the sensitivity to discern the Spirit's leading and the courage to follow wherever it guides us.

Above all, we praise Your One and Only Begotten Son, through whom Your incredible love was made known. His ultimate sacrifice on the cross paved the way for our redemption, opening wide the gates of everlasting life to all who place their faith in Him.

In the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
